real lotus 49b at Goodwood

Just a quick note to say I sat in Jim Clark's '68 49b on Sunday. The Mechanic with it said it was the car which won at Zandvoort in '67 first time out , converted to '68 spec. I don't know if this is true or not. Needless to say I felt like a five year old. Regards Bogster ( 00JimWheatly )

Pete loveley owns the thing....that guy must have made the best deal in history...... Sudesh "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> schreef in bericht news:39c85b08$[email hidden]...

Please DON'T post a picture, I'm envious enough just thinking about it! Tony Whitley

It certainly is, John.

I actually have a CD full of pictures takenby a guy who must be Pete's neighbour, as they were taken on a farm of some kind, i'm using them to correct the 1/12 tamiya 49B which is to be honest...crap (as far as a B goes) are there any other modelers in this group?

Sure are Sudesh. I'm actually looking for this kit right now. Actually I have been looking for some time now. It's a pretty rare beast in the UK these days :-( MS > are there any other modelers in this group? > > Sudesh >

Yep....renumbered as chassis R11 when it was updated to 1969 spec in the off season of 1968. After it was paid for but prior to delivery, Mario Andretti drove it under Gold Leaf Lotus colours in the South African GP. Mr. has owned it ever since.....almost. He actually sold it to an English buyer in the early 1990's but the new owner died before the car was fully paid for. Mr. Lovely regained ownership, after some legal battles, in 1997. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- sudesh <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Pete loveley owns the thing....that guy must have made the best deal in > history...... > > Sudesh > "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> schreef in bericht > news:39c85b08$[email hidden]... > > It certainly is, John.

That sir is certainly a magmanimous gesture. I'd really appreciate the effort Bruce if it's not too much trouble. I'm pretty flush right now. I have been decorating my hallway this week and made a discovery. In the black hole that is my under stairs cupboard, was an old 10 shilling note. Is that still legal tender over on your side of the ball? <G> Mark "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

No worries, Mark. I'll check into the shop on Monday, when I'm back in the city-centre for work. Actually...if I get a chance I'll give them a call tomorrow and, if it's there, ask them to hold it 'til Monday. Can't promise anything, of course, with the place being Canberra's only *real* model/hobby outlet. As far as the ten-bob note goes, no, they aren't tenderable here now, having been replaced back in 1966/67. I think that they were usable up to the late 1970's. Keep it for sentimental value,,,it'd be worth more than the Oz dollar is, anyway! :-) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Mark.seery <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9PFy5.3032$[email hidden]... > That sir is certainly a magmanimous gesture. > > I'd really appreciate the effort Bruce if it's not too much trouble.
